I learned so much about preparing and cooking food. I even cooked Teriyaki Chicken dinner for my Dad, and he was very impressed. Roberta was fun and informative and I enjoyed learning from her. Best of all, the kitchen is well equipped, and has everything you need for cooking a great meal! Great natural light, too!

My daughter just had her 8 year old birthday party at Apron Strings and it was great. She and her friends had the best time learning how to make pizza from scratch. Roberta was patient and explained all the ingredients that were being used and what function they played in the dough. They learned something but she made it fun so they didn't feel like they were "learning". The best part for them was decorating their own cakes. The space is great, a newly renovated kitchen at Katherine Michiels School and afterwards they could go outside and play until the party was over. My daughter enjoyed it so much that she wants to do it again for her birthday party next year. We'll definitely sign up for Roberta's Saturday cooking classes for kids. Thank you Apron Strings.

Apron Strings is a good camp for learning the basics of cooking a meal. The food was great and simple to make. the instructor, Roberta had a hard edge, was rude and not very patient with kids. She made people feel bad and embarrassed if they made a mistake. I kind of liked the camp but I don't think I would go there again.

We arranged a joint playgroup party with for our four year olds with Roberta DesBouillons of Apron Strings. The kids made their own pizzas -- stretched pizza dough, added sauce, cheese and choice of 4 toppings. They then decorated their own heart shaped pieces of cake w/ frosting and candy while the pizza cooked. They ate the pizza first then we lit candles on the cakes, sang Happy Birthday and the kids ate their cake. For the 1 1/2 hour party, Roberta charged us $650, which worked out to be $31/child (for each pre-schooler and younger siblings, some who were just babies) For $65/family, the venue should at least include decorations, drinks (we were told to bring our own), food for parents, etc. We met her in an industrial building near the Mission Bay area. The venue is not cheery and festive. It's an industrial kitchen with some windows on the far end but no natural light where the kids table was set up. Roberta was not very engaging with the children and her interaction was not more than a waiter would provide (I noticed on her website her classes are for kids age 10 and up). She showed the pizza dough and asked a few questions about cooking, but mostly she was there to get the pizza to/from the oven and clean up. She did not have any assistants.

I thought as a student that it was really fun. I also liked chopping all of the ingredients and making all kinds of things that I didn't think I could make. It was exiting. Leo

this is a extraordinary cooking camp!!
